For the first question, if I save the figure (as a PNG I’m guessing,
unless you can save into a more array-like format), I’d have to make
sure that there were no labels or ticks and that the axes fit the whole
figure. I’d also have to get the dpi and size information correct, but I
suppose it would be possible that way. I was hoping for something a
little easier and in-memory. This might be the simplest answer the more
I think about it.
If I’m starting from the paths, I’d still have to write them to the
“grid” array. I thought maybe the backend could do that and I magically
get the image.
I’ll look in to using savefig and getting the data out.

pardon the query if it seems dumb, but why don’t you do a savefig()
after plotting the data and then convert it to any format you like?
alternatively, contour() and contourf() both create paths that can
be accessed:
cf = contourf(…)
output = cf.collections.pop()
paths = output.get_paths()[i] # for the various contours
the x,y coordinates can then be accessed as
xcoords = paths.vertices.transpose()[0]
ycoords = paths.vertices.transpose()[1]
you can then do whatever you wish with them.

I've been searching and reading through source code and google searches
to see if this is possible, but no luck so far. I'm basically trying to
map some data using Basemap, use contourf to map it to an image, and
then put that image in a geotiff (or other format) for use in other GIS
programs. I have other tools for remapping data and creating geotiffs,
but the contour image looks better. All I would need to get this to work
would be an array representing the image inside the axes of a contourf
plot. I found a lot of geotiff -> Basemap png results, but I would like
the reverse.
Since the plots are made using paths/patches I'm guessing I would have
to have a backend render the image and then extract the image somehow.
Does anyone have some tips or tricks to do something like this? Or am I
thinking about this completely wrong?
Thanks for any help and if you could CC me in any replies it would be
much appreciated.
